About
Riografias: Women healers of Alto Baudó
Exhibition Design, Creative Direction, Curation
Riografías is a photography exhibition and collaborative art project that highlights the resilience of Afro-Indigenous women in the remote Alto Baudó region of Colombia. Isolated by violence, many residents have limited access to healthcare, education, or food. The work was exhibited with Doctors Without Borders at the Photoville Festival in New York City.
I joined the project as co-curator and graphic designer, collaborating closely with the photographer and the Photoville team to translate this story into exhibition form. My responsibilities included designing the exhibit materials, assisting with photo selection, and managing behind-the-scenes logistics. Throughout, I focused on maintaining the integrity of the women’s voices and the spirit of their work, ensuring the visual presentation honored the collaborative, community-driven nature of the project.
